Sunday's round of international fixtures saw five Leicester City stars in UEFA Nations League action across the continent.

- Timothy Castagne and Youri Tielemans play 90 minutes in Belgium’s 2-1 loss to England
- Jonny Evans features in Northern Ireland's UEFA Nations League clash with Austria

- Kasper Schmeichel keeps another clean sheet as Denmark beat Iceland 3-0
- Cengiz Ünder was a second-half substitute in Turkey's encounter with Russia

While Harvey Barnes and Dennis Praet did not feature in the League A Group 2 clash between England and Belgium in the UEFA Nations League, Timothy Castagne and Youri Tielemans both started at Wembley Stadium.

Castagne operated at left wing-back and Tielemans was deployed in the heart of midfield as Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford both converted penalties before Mason Mount’s deflected effort handed England a win over the world’s top-ranked side.

Youri Tielemans played from start to finish against the Three Lions at Wembley Stadium.

Later in the day, Foxes No.1 Kasper Schmeichel led his Denmark outfit to a 3-0 success over Iceland in the same group, with strikes from Christian Eriksen and Robert Skov adding to Rúnar Már Sigurjónsson's own goal.

Jonny Evans also featured for Northern Ireland in the Nations League, but couldn't prevent his side from losing 1-0 to Austria after Michael Gregoritsch hit a first-half winner in Group 1 of League B.

Timothy Castagne challenges England's right-back, Trent Alexander-Arnold, at Wembley Stadium.

In Moscow, winger Cengiz Ünder came off the bench to help Turkey secure a 1-1 draw with Russia in League B's Group 3 after Kenan Karaman cancelled out Anton Miranchuk's opener. Çağlar Söyüncü was an unused substitute at the VTB Arena.

City stopper Danny Ward was unused from the bench, meanwhile, as Wales drew 0-0 with 10-man Republic of Ireland in League B’s Group 4 of the Nations League, despite James McLean’s late dismissal in Dublin.
